Tofu’s birthplace

Have you ever tasted Tofu? If so, do you know who invented it? Although Tofu is one of the most common foods in Asia and shared by many cultures, it actually originated more than 2,000 years ago in China. In the attempt to make the elixir of immortality, ancient Chinese people used the wrong formula and voila! Tofu was born. The primary ingredient in tofu is soy beans, which are extremely good source of protein for a healthy diet. Next time you are in an Asian restaurant, give it a go!
